Primary 2/1 have been working very hard this week for Mrs Turner.

Literacy

Primary 1 have been revising their phonics this week and Primary 2 have been learning the sound ‘oo’ with words such as look and book.  Primary 1 have also been practising their blending of sounds to sound out words.  The hula hoop jumping activity for this was much enjoyed.

Numeracy and Mathematics

Primary 2 have been doing more work on learning their doubles and near doubles.  They are also learning to count in twos.  Primary 1 have been learning more about Number Bonds to 10, for example, different ways to make 10.  6+4, 7+3 etc.  They have also been introduced to 2D shapes.

Road Safety and Book Week

It’s been a fun week for P2/1 with lots of fun activities to learn about Road Safety and reading opportunities for Book Week.  Primary 1 took home their BookBug gift bag and Primary 2 took home their Read Write Count gift bag.  We hope that children and parents enjoy these gifts from the Scottish Book Trust.

Pirate Topic

The children enjoyed painting parrots as part of their learning about pirates and these have been displayed on the wall.
